1 Installation of the VITA FiringAssist i-Line

Minimum PC requirements to run the VITA FiringAssist i-Line:

– Windows XP or newer
– Random access memory: 128 MByte
– Free hard disk space: 100 MByte
– Screen resolution: 1024 x 768 pixels

To install the VITA FiringAssist i-Line, carry out the following steps:

– Install the file VITA_FiringAssist_i_Line_installer_1_0_0.exe on the PC.

Administrator rights may be necessary for the installation.

– Indicate the installation path during the installation (e.g., C:\Programme\v60tool).

After the program is successfully installed, there will be a new menu item with the name VITA FiringAssist i-Line in the Start
menu. In the VITA FiringAssist i-Line program, these instructions and an uninstallation routine can be called up there.

2 Important information

If a program list is transferred to a VITA V60 i-Line, the entire firing program list already present in the
VITA V60 i-Line will be overwritten.
To avoid an unwanted overwrite of the existing program list in a VITA V60 i-Line, a backup copy of the
VITA V60 i-Line firing program list must always be exported with an empty, prepared USB flash drive.
